Arguing whether or not a God exists is like fleas arguing whether or not the dog exists. Arguing over the correct name for God is like fleas arguing over the name of the dog. And arguing over whose notion of God is correct is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog. ~Robert Fulghum
#quotes #robert-fulghum #god

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering.
